ONLY ASKS TWO YEARS MORE Bupervising Architeot Edbrooke Promises Omaha a New Federal Building for 1894, FAVORS THE ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION He Thinks the Whole Bunlding Should Be Completed at Once Instead of in Two Sections—Will Push the Work Vigorously. Long ago the poet sald tbat “all things come round to him who will but wait.”” The peoplo of Omaha have apparently placed implicit confidence in the statement of the poot so faras the securing of a new postofMce building has been concerned, but they will be pleased to hear a word of en- couragement from Supervising Architect Edbrooke, who came on from Washington yesterday afternoon to see how the work hore was progressing and to examine the basement foundation. Mr. Edbrooke, accompanied by one of his assistants, Mr. Frank Goygla, looked at the excavated arca on block 86 aud after a little oxamination he came to the con- clusion that & concrete substratum under the foundation stones woula be sufficient without piling. The area to be occupied by the tower basement will be excavated to a depth of about six feet below where 1t now is, putting it down about twenty feet below the curbstone. T'ho bottom of this excava- tion will then be filled several feet with ce- ment and broken stone, upon which tho foundation stones will be loid. Work will begin at once upon the propara- tion of the foundation, Mr, C.J. King of Omaha has the contract for the stone work and he willdo the preliminary work also. Tho stone foundation is to Ye completed by the first of August noxt. Will Koep the Work Moving. “How soon after tho stone work is com- ploted do you expect to begin work upon the superstructure!” wus asked of Mr. Ed- brooke. “I shall advertiso for tho iron work aud tho work upon the superstructure early enough to have a contract all combloted by the time the founda tion is ready, so that tho work can be kept moving right along.” ““You are not intending to keep this buila- ing dragging along for five or six years then, after the usual fashion of constructing fed- buildings?" Not if I live,”” said Mr. Edbrooko firmly, 1was formerly o rosigent of Chicago. 1 may say that I am a Clticago architect, and T ropose to put up government buildings in o Pheiness liko way. There is o sonso in spending four or five yoars in putting up a builuing like this. If I live I expect to~ have that buildiug completed and se8 your post- master aud othor foderal ofcers dolng busi- ness in 1t two years from now. Ono thing that hias hold §o many public buildings back has been the deluy in secaring tho ap- propriations.’ Do you think the bill for tne aaditional £800,000 for this building will be passod at this'session 1" “I am of the opinion that the bill for tho additional appropriation will be passed. The committee talked to me as though tho bill was looked upon with favor.” “What is your own opinion as to the ad- visability of having the additional appro- priation?” Ought to Bulld All at Once. “1 think it would be an_ economical measure in the ond. While the building will bo complete as we we have it now _planned, and the additional amount would simply enable us to bulld the west half of the structure that will have to be put on some time, vet I think it would be better to put the building up all at the same time. The present appropriation will erect a building that will accommodate the postoffice and the other federal depart- ments for the presentand for some time to come, but I believe it would be better to finish the building now and by the time the city outgrows the capacity of the completed structure Omaha will be large enough to have soveral branch oftices. “We are rapidly coming to the days of branch postofiices and pneumatic tube con- nections for all the large citios. That plan bas been founa vory successful and practica- ble in Europe and we shall adopt it very soon in Chicago and other large cities. 1 hope to see the additional appropriation for your building here allowed so that we can com- plote the building in full size by the spring of 1804.” cfih' Edbrooke left last night for Kansas 3.

Paving Contractors Will be Required to Give a Deeade Guaranty Hereafter, The members of the Board of Public Works held a session yestorday for the purpose of deciding upon the paving specifications for the ensuing year. Although they did not complete their labors, they decided that ‘whenever contractors bid for paving contract each bid must bo accompanied by a ten years' guaranty. Heretofore the guaranty has extended over a period of five years, and aftor that time the repairs have been made by the city and paid for out of the repairing fund. A fifteen por cent reserve will be held for five years, the same as now. At the expiration of that tho reserve will be paid to the con- tractor and ho will be required to give a bond that he will keop the pavement in repair duriu§ the second five years, ’hairman Birkbauser, in d g the subject, stated that Le did not think tho new. plan would materially increase the cost of the pavement, as only material that would last moro than ten years would he included in the noew specifications. He also thovght that by requiring a tea-year guaranteo the city would get the best of material, as con- tractors could not afford to use the poorer qualities of paving material if they under- stood that they had to keep the pavement in repair for ten years, 8 ., People are not slow about taking hold of a new thing, if the article has merit.

It is said that Rev. Samuel Lewis, living near Ashland, is liable to come into posses- sion of an immense fortune, Several years ago Mr. Lowis, while living in Pennsylvania, in company with his brother, who still resides in that state, invented and patented a ma- chine for makiug steel rails by which the gentlemen claim two men can turn out more rails in a day than twenty-seven could by the old process and ata greatly reduced price. As soon as the machine was placed on the market numerous steel manufacturers in Pennsylvania and other states at once began making machines of their own with improve- ments, as they claimed. Some of these com- panies were the oldest and wealthiest in the United States. Neverthelegs, about threo years ago the two brothers brought suitin the courts of Pennsylvania against numerous steel manufacturers in that state for the sum of $0,000,000 for infringement of their.patent. Mr. Lowls engaged some of tho best patent lawyers in the east, und for two years the matter was fought through the courts of the state. Last fall the matter was carried to the supreme court and the hearing was completed last December, when the court ordered the printing of the testi- oy T'his was finished a short time ago and it is now only a question of a few aays before the decision is rendered. Mr. Lewis expects it any day now and is contident of winning, hoving securea favorable decisions in all the courts of Pennsylvania.

May, cashier, St. Psul, THE Ohance for a Hospital is Now Brighter Than Ever Before, HOW A SMART CONDUCTOR FELL DOWN e Thought to Get a Joke on Some School- —People are Tired of The Board of Trade held a special meeting last night to consider the projectof a city hospital. The Drs. Bauserman of Leaven- worth, Kan,, who are whe projectors of the enterprise, were present, The plan as out- lined by them was that as many as possible of the 4,000 laboring men in the city should be induced to subscribe 25 cents a month for the support of the hospital. In return they would at all times be entitled to receive free treatment and medicine, either at the hos- pital or at their homes. Dr. Bauserman stated that in Kansas City the packers made the subscription obligatory with their em- pleyes and - thought the same plan might be pursued ip South Omaha, The matter was discussed at some length and all present were of tho opinion that the hospital was very oadly needed. Just how the board should goto work to aid Drs. Bauserman in their undertaking involvea a difference of opinion. Finally Captain Cock- rell and David Anderson were appointed as a committee to secure the services of some person who would seo the business men of the city and ascertain how much they would subscribo towards the support of a hospital. ‘The board will hold another meeting next Tuesday night to take action on the matter and aneffort will be made to have the packers represented. So Glad He Told Them, That the average female school teacher is not to be imposed on with impunity was illustrated by the manner in which a party of them- turned the tables on a facetious motor conductor on the South Omahaline yesterday. A party of about a dozen young lady teachers returning from their schools were among the passengers in tho trailer. When the viaduct was reached the conduc: tor opened the door and said: *‘The authori- ties have pronounced this viaduot un- safe for loaded motors and school- ma'ms. Passengers will please walk,” Indignation gleamed for a moment in a dozen pairs of bright eyes but to formulate a plan for revenge was only the work of an in stant. Every one of them gol out and walked. The conductor grinned and thought he had the laugh on the school toachors for once. But his complacency was short livea. By the time the car had reached the North end of the viaduct the teachers were scarce- 1y half way across. He runx the bell im- patiently ~ but his fair passengers were laughing and talking unconcernedly and moved as leisurely as thouwh they did not know thata nonplussed conductor was waiting impatiently and raging under the only half-suppressed merriment of the other passengers, When they finally reached tho car it had been waiting ten minutes, “So glad you told us the viaduct was un- safe for schoolna’ms,” murmured one of them with a smile. *‘It would have been perfectly dreadful it we had all been killed.” And the passengers roared, while the con- ductor was 80 nervous that he rang up two fares nstead of giving the signal to start, Tiring of Mud. The people who have been laboriously mak- ing their way through tho mass of sticky mua that remains undisturbed in its possess- ion of the right of way on South Omaha streets, have just begun to make up their minds that the city needs to have its streets cleaned once in a while. The paved streets have never been kept clean because there has been no provision made for it by the city government. Tho chief of police 1s supposed 10 be responsible for keeping the streets in good condition, but unfortunately the present ordin ancesdo not apecify any way in which it 18 to be done unless he feels liko taking a broom and hoo and doing it himself. The law provides that the mayor shall have power toputall prisoners confined for violation of the city ordinances at work on tho streets, but there are not enough prisoners of that character now-a-days to keop the sidewalks in front of the jail clean, The unusually muddy condition of the stroots during the past fow days has aroused some interest In_tho taatter, and it is proba- ble that the city council will be requested to take somo action. The ouly street cloaning that has been done heretofore nas beon an occasional slushing of the gutters when the tire department wanted & little exercise, but they have not craved any exercise for a long time, The sidewalks are in nearly as impassablo condition as the streets, and theraare not half a dozen firms on N street who pretend to keop their sidewalks clean. The polico could turn their attontion to enforcing the ordinance reluting to sidewalks with some venefit to pedestrians.

Judge Shields Explains Some Points Re- garding the Governor's Appointments, In speaking of the probabls course to be pursued by the police board recently ap- pointed by Governor Boyd, ex-County Judge Shields said yosterday : “‘We shall file our bonds and present them to the city council for approval at the next meeting. 1f we moet with any interference in the discharge of our official duty of course we shall have to decide upon the necessary steps to be taken,” “What is your opinion as to the logality of the governor's action in removing tho old board and appointiug a new board of comunssioners " “There can be no question as to the iegal- ity of the governor's action. The power to remove members of the Fire and Polico com- mission has been placed in tho governor's bands, There is no provision made for an ap- peal from his decision in these matters. He is the judge of the ceuse in all such cases and his action 1s final. These men know very well that they were not removed on account of malfeasance in oftice. There is no use for them to assume the plea of in- jured innocence. They know that they were removed because they had been appointed by a man who had usurped the authority that rightfully belonged to Gov- ernor Boyd, and now that Governor Boyd has beon restored to the office to which he was electod ho simply ro- moved or abolished what the usurper had dono and appointed commissioners who will be 1n harmony with his administration. “It is well known that Mr. Gilbert worked hara against Mr. Boyd and has said all sorts of hard things about him and yet he insists that he ought to be permitted to hold an office that Governor Boyd and no one else nad the lawful right to fill by ap- polutment. Do these men imagine that Gov- ernor Boyd is going to permit an usurper to make his appointments for him? If that is to bo the custom, any proterder or partisan might gain possession ot the Rov- ernor’s chair for ‘@ few hours and fill all the appointive offices in the state and then surrender the assumed authority again, “‘They talk avout the length of the term for which tney wore appointed. That cuts no ficure. Itisa fact that the postmasters all over the country sre appointed for four years, but whenever thoreis a change of administration we see them removed by the score, and removed for cause. We all know the cause, in most cases. They are not satisfactory tothe administration. That is the case in this instance and tbere is no use of those fellows making any fuss aboutit. There is another thing that 1 will mention that has npot been geverally known, Ithink, The appointment of the gentlemen composing the old board of fire and police commissioners was never confirmed by the senate, Our state constitution provides that all offices filled by -p‘mlmmem by the gov- ernor shall be confirmed by the senate. There has been a session of the senate since the appointment of the gentlemen wno have been removed by Governor Boyd, but their appointments have not been approved. When the senate meets next winter tho ap- pointments just made by Governor Boyd will be submitted for upproval. Tn case thoy are not approved then the governor will be obliged to make other appointments.’” Partisanship 1s Not Cause, Senator Switzler was asked for his opinion of the Fire and Police commission muddle and said: “‘As I understand 1t, the governor has no right to remove a member of the Fire avd Police commission without cause und that cause must be a legitimato one, It must ap- pear or be shown, I think, that the member removed has neglected his duty, been guilty of misconduct, malfeasance in office or has in some way become incompetent. I believe that the courts will hold that the governor must have some other reason than merely a partisan or persoual dislike for the men re- moved. As I understand the law it is very plain and specific upon that question,’ Judge Dundy said: ““The man who states that there is no appeal from the action of the governor in removing the fire and police commissioners —if I have a correct knowledge of the reading of the law—will find that he is grossly mistaken. 1If tho law says that the governor can only remove a commis- sioner for cause, the governor can be com- pelied to show whut that cause was, ‘Talk about there beg no appeal in such a case --if there could be uno appeal then there would be no use to say anything about the cause, 1f the law has been correctly re- ported to me 1 believe these men could insti- tute quo warranto proceedings and the gov- ernor would be ooliged Lo show cause for his action. That is as plain as the noseon a man’s face.” One Objection Nettled. A prominent attorney has pointed out the following opinion of the Nebraska supreme court, which appears 1o do away with one point raised : In the case of the state against Seavey, 22 Nebraska, 454, the court said: ‘It is con- tended by couusel for the relator that the appointmont of the members of the Board of Fire and Police commissioners by the gov- ernor is void for the reason that such appointment was not made by and with the advice and consent of the senators, and to this point section 10of article 5 of the con- stitution is cited; section is as follows : “45ec, 10, The gewernor shall nominate and nd with the sdvice and consent of the senate appoint @il officers whose offices are establisied by this constitution or which may be created by law, and whose appoint- ment or election is mot otherwise by law or herein provided for,and no such officer shall be appointed or eleeted by the legislature.” ' The court adds: *Fhe lunguage of the act is ‘the governor shall appoint,’ otc., without the qualifieation that such appoint- ment shall be depeadent upon the advice and consent of tie senate. These oficel are created by law, Hut their appointment 18 by law otherwise prowided for than in the mode poiated out ini the section of the con- stjitution quoted. *' * * Throughout its history not a session@f the legislature has passed without the passage of luws in terms similar Lo the one uow under consideration, and their execution the governor without submitting his appointments to the senate.” The appointments of district judges are never suomitted to the senate; and so with notaries public and many other ofticers, Marrisge nsos, The following marriage licenses were is sued by Judge Eller yesterday : Name and Address.

GIVE THEM A FREE KEELEY COURSE Willing to Contribute to a Fund Which Shall Be Used in Reclaiming Men Who Are Too Poor to Help Themselves, Mr. Milton E. F'ree of this city says he has no desire o be known as a phiianthropist, but ho has a plan now under consideration, the object of which is to very materially beuetit a number of his fellow men. This is nothing more nor loss than the starting of a benevolent fund which shail be expended ex- clusively in reclaiming drunkaras by payiog for their treatment at any one of the leading institutions in the state that have been so successful in effecting an absolute cure for dipsomania. Mr. Free at first offered to be one of fifty or more persons to con‘ribute £100 each to such a tund, but now says ho will be one of five or ten to make such a_contribution, or 1f more desirable or effectual in gotting the fund startod he will give that amount if others will respond with smaller amounts, but he thinks that there ought to be fifty men in Owaha who would be willing to thus Rive of their substance for the benefit of their unfortunate fellows. In spoaking of the {.rojoet yestorday after- noon, Mr, Free said: ‘“There are many young and middle aged n.en in this city who are slaves to the liquor habit, who, 1f cured of their appetites, have sufficient ability to make a very creditablo showing for them- selves. Muny of them have not the means to take the treatment, but would gladly avail themselves of an_opportunity to do so. 1 be- lieve that charity begins at home, and for that reason I think that christian people who are sending monoy to foreign missions might contribute to this fund, which seems to mo like a very practical form of Chris- tianity. I would like to see tho ministoers of the city take up the matter and lend it their assistance. My ideais that the fund thus raised should be placed in trust as the con- tributors may elect.
